Reply to "Do you constantly feel like you have to go?"

I can sometimes hold upto 8 hours , its been 9 months post takedown now. I only go twice in short intervals during night after dinner and 4-5 times a day. Early weeks are tough with pouch but thing definitely settle over time. Practise doing tons of kegels and other bottom exercises to help strengthen those muscles. I still do them daily. Also don't worry too much about settling, these things take their own time. Everyone's different so you'll know your answer with passing time. Eat more bulking foods like sweet potatoes, bananas, breads, butter, peanut butter, egg whites etc. And you can talk to your surgeon about pysillium husk post takedown.
